eFiJy, 25 Oct 2012I said it as a general opinion, for me it isn't big the 4.7" screen, but for most people ... moreWhy you bashing this phone for??? I don't get you? So you mean general inquiry, majority of the people who use cell phone wants a smaller screen? are you stupid or something.please stop making comments.you're embarrassing yourself.

eFiJy, 25 Oct 2012I said it as a general opinion, for me it isn't big the 4.7" screen, but for most people ... moredon't worry how other people feel about you....you don't live to impress others. Just enjoy the technology you have, it represents your taste, be proud of your choice. Every individual like to be unique.... I don't want to carry an ordinary phone like others....IT'S BORING !.

Everytime i hold it people around start giggling... But then they cant take their eyes off... And most of them just want to try how angry birds works... N they luv it

hey nekko, 25 Oct 2012Q: Is this phablet too big to carry around?
A: No. Guys who can't fit this phablet in his p... moreWhy would people complain about the size? It's clearly not a standard phone and aimed at a different market.

A: No. Guys who can't fit this phablet in his p... moreThe note 2 also has the option of a one handed keyboard (left or right) as well as calculator and dialer which works well.

A: No. Guys who can't fit this phablet in his pants are wearing pants so skinny their sperm production is messed up. Girls don't carry phones in their pocket/skirts. They always carry it in their handbags.

Q: Is this phablet too big for one handed usage?

A: No. If you use it one handed exclusively i.e trying to reach every edge of the screen using your thumb then yes. But the thing is nowadays smartphones demand more two handed usage(qwerty keyboard, web browsing, pinch to zoom, setting the camera and so on and so forth). Even people with smaller screen use it two handed (3.5in iphone) and Blackberry users also use theirs two handed. So what's the one handed operation for? Unlocking screen, picking up calls, watching movies, watching slideshows, snapping pictures quickly without meddling with the settings, all which can be done on this phablet with no problem. So, NO the phablet is not too big for one handed operation.

**Those who said this phablet is too big for one handed usage most probably have only one hand which forced them to type on the landscape qwerty one handed and pinch to zoom while holding the device in the same hand. LOL imagine that.

These top line phones all have some pros and cons, so, depends on our individual differences, which one you like? Which phone you prefer the most?
Clearly, Note 2 isn't for you, but that doesn't mean other people would hate it.

It's not also kinda pricy? I don't know how the US carriers work. I do know that they offer you the phone for about 200$, but I don't know what is the monthly fee you have to pay for a 2 years contract.

eFiJy, 25 Oct 2012Maybe you really need this, and this is ok, but as I said this is not for everyone.I agree and I was very unsure about going from the Iphone to SGS2 to the original note... however after a few days use it feels just like a normal phone. I considered a SGS3 but the screen just felt too small.

I guess that's the beauty of android, you have a lot of brands and features to choose from :-)

Anonymous, 25 Oct 2012Actually, most people are blown away by the awesome screen and features and actually want one.... moreMaybe you really need this, and this is ok, but as I said this is not for everyone.

given that phones and tablets now cover every screen size from 2" to 11" i dont think its an issue. Plus, unlike teenagers I don't get a phone to be cool, I get it to suit my needs and the note 2 is the perfect all in one device... you should try one :-)

Bunyip, 24 Oct 2012How come you were just on the LG Optimus G E973 comments page saying “And stop hating LG for n... moreI said it as a general opinion, for me it isn't big the 4.7" screen, but for most people is big. And the main reason I was saying that is that the Note 2 has even bigger screen and it isn't a musthave just because of that. This device is not made for all users, is made for users that really do need it. You think that when taking the Note 2 out of your pocket and showing it to someone, that person won't laugh its as* off?

I have the international note 2 and with regards to the size. It is perfect for those who want a all in one super phone / tablet. I use to carry a 7" tablet and a smartphone but this hits the sweet spot not having to carry two devices.

I love it and would not go back to anything else. The screen is gorgeous. Battery life is exceptional. The beast is so quick. The note taking is fantastic. The speaker is good. The camera is great. You get the picture...

I must admit this phone is not for everyone as one handed operation is not so natural. If you have big hands then no problems. For everyone else if you don't mind using two hands then this is the perfect device. You can still use some of the functions one handed but you find it more comfortable with two hands.

This is the perfect compromise device. I don't need a tablet because of this. I would go on and say it is better than a tablet which are just too heavy and bulky.

eFiJy, 24 Oct 2012People feel uncomfortable even with a 4.7" display, I think this 5.5" display is way... moreHow come you were just on the LG Optimus G E973 comments page saying “And stop hating LG for no reason saying that this phone is bad”
